Itching to try out writing a character? Then rev up your engines, grab your accounts, and slam your way into this meme! Here is a venue for you to try out whatever character there might be tickling your fancy, from fandom to OC, for as few as one and as many as MANY. Seriously, there's no limit.

How do you partake in this fantastic congregation of character testing? Why, by following these simple steps:

Comment with the journal of a character you want to test; put their name and canon in the subject line for added sparkles.
Tag around with everyone!
Profit like you live on a the back of a turtle!
Maybe even reserve so you CAN live on the back of a turtle!

But wait, there's more! For the low, low price of $9,999.99, you can even use one of our handy prompts when you tag someone. You could even pick one with a Random Number Generator to help decide which prompt to go with!

A Chance Meeting at the Turtle's Head.
Remember, being here causes a great sense of-- well, shall we say inner peace.
Haggling Over Something in the Marketplace!
Maybe someone else saw the exact same shiny thing you did at the exact same moment! However shall this be resolved? Remember: blood is extremely hard to scrub off of turtleshell!
Have Met Before? Because I Could've Sworn I've Seen You In My Dreams.
Have you wandered into the realm of Dreaming via an archway in Keeliai? Here, everything is shaped to your character's individual mind. Dreams can be shared between characters and will result in a meshing of minds. These dreams can be positive or negative, depending on your character.
Dramatic Chase Sequence!
You're running away from something! It could be anything, from a rampaging kirin to a gaggle of overly enthusiastic children, or even one of the newest editions to Keeliai's menagerie, an incredibly affectionate turtle the size of a minivan! One way or another, you can't stop, and much like a katamari ball, you feel obligated to grab everyone in your path along the way to keep them out of danger! Or perhaps you're more the sort to try and knock them into it as a distraction...?
Shapeshifting Shenanigans
The native kedan are shapeshifters and it seems like something's gotten into the water supply, because you suddenly find yourself able to duplicate that particular skill! Whether you're any good at it or not remains to be seen...
WILDCARD!
Go nuts. Suddenly your character is fighting dragons! Good God, they've found the Millennium Falcon drifting in the ocean! Do you really feel the need to polish every paving stone in the Earth Sector? Please note, Wildcard options are also what you can choose to do if you aren't yet comfortable in the Tu Shanshu setting and would prefer a more 'dear-mun' esque experience. Please specify in your post!

[She saw the back of his head from a distance, and that...told her absolutely nothing. Lots of people had black hair. She had black hair. His clothing and stance said boy, but again, that wasn't really much to go on. Honestly, even by the time she made it to his actual face, there were no signs of familiarity to be found.]

So...come here often?

[Well. That's not something you see every day, so don't mind Sully as he puffs away on his cigar and gives Travis - and his sword - a skeptical look.]

Hell of a weapon you've got there, kid.

[Well hello there, pretty lady bartering with the locals about the price of tea in China. Or tea in wherever. Or maybe just tea. But the important part is that she's gorgeous, she's legal, and Sully is an incorrigible old flirt. So he slides up next to her, pulls his cigar out of his mouth (politely blowing the smoke the other way, sometimes he pretends a gentlemanly nature) and offers her a rogueish grin.]

There's a vendor down the street, has this same thing three times cheaper. Why waste your time on this yahoo?

[This is the first time Reid's been in the Dreaming since arriving in Keeliai, and it's just about the most incredible thing at all time. He is in fact nerding out over it in a big way.]

This is-- I can't even believe, this, scientifically it shouldn't be possible to transpose a, a physical reality over a metaphysical idea, but that's exactly what they've done here--

[HAPPY EXCITED SCIENCE DORK BABBLE THY NAME IS. Also this the story of how he backs right up into Milo, completely by accident. He wasn't expecting anyone else to be in his subconscious, shh.]

[He'd been in Keeliai a month, and the suspicions had yet to ease off. Sure, he'd stopped sleeping in alleyways, stealing clothes off the lines, and that knife he'd lifted from a local butcher shop was now spending as much of his time tucked into his stolen jacket as it was in his hand when he slept.

Most of what he did was observation. Recon. The machines were fucking with him somehow. Maybe they'd brought him back from the dead, or back through time, or something. But he remembered dying, for Sarah, and not knowing whether or not she's okay is killing him.

She has to survive. She does survive, she goes on to have John, and John saves the world, right? Humanity wins. That's it. Game over.

It's why everything that happened was necessary. And it's why, eventually, Kyle stops giving a fuck. For what's probably the first time since his arrival, he steps out onto the street in broad daylight, jacket turned up against the spring chill (and god, seeing a city in spring is about the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. He's never seen anything so green--) and walks down the street. Running into the guy is an accident, really. In that way where he maybe put his shoulder into it a little to try and discern whether or not the guy was made out of anything... synthetic.]

Sorry, man.

[Except he doesn't look particularly sorry, he looks suspicious as hell. Because what the hell else can the machines do to him now?]

[The million dollar question. How the hell was he supposed to know that was a sacred pile of hay? Really? They worship hay now? It's not exactly his fault he torched it, lightning powers can be kind of unpredictable, okay!

They can put the pitchforks down seriously any moment now!

But at least he's fast, which is how he rounds a corner and smacks right into-- whoever this newbie is he's never seen before. Brandon strongly considers just leaving her for the wolves, but whatever sense of chivalry Steph's managed to instill in him kicks in, and he holds out a hand to haul her up.]

Come on, get moving!

[ Have a pale teenage girl under a wide black parasol that puts her entire slender frame in shadow, looking like she got a little too carried away with the goth makeup. She flashes Allison a smile as the woman is looking through some thick books and there are two petite fangs obvious in the grin. ]

Do you like to read too?

[There's a loud bark as Hawke's notch-eared mabari bounds towards Surana. He wastes no time shoving his nose at her and sniffing furiously while his tiny tail wags. Hawke follows behind the dog, giving the animal an unimpressed look.]

You know most people consider it polite to ask before you try inhaling them.

[Notch turns his head to Hawke and barks once before romping towards Hawke in excitement. After running a full circle around Hawke, he finally sits heavily beside the man. Hawke just smirks.]

You must have been rolling in ham to get him that excited.

[ The outdoor cafe is crowded today, as one of the nicest days yet this year after a cold winter. So crowded in fact that River doesn't have anywhere to sit and so, rather than stand with her steaming mug clasped between both hands, she takes a seat in the empty chair across from Lara without even bothering to ask permission. WHAT NOW. ]

[ What now is, well, first, a very, very confused look. This place is like nothing on Krypton, and Lara had sat down because ... it seemed like something people did, and she could observe. Now, she's not at all closer to knowing anything of significance. It's merely confusing, her eyes are tricky, the air seems to be making her sick, and she's not sure she can walk back home, right now. ]

[ Lara does wrinkle her nose at the scent coming off the younger woman's drink. ]

What is that thing?

[ Gangs. How are there gangs no matter what city she goes to? Even in another universe, there are gangs. And they seem to think that Felicity has money. Or something else. Which... they're actually kind of right about that. She knows where one of their hide-outs is. And who their leader is.

So yes, she understands why they're chasing her, but that doesn't mean she has to like it. ]

[Mukuro sees the collision coming at the last moment, but it happens too quick for her to properly step back and avoid. At the very least she steps back enough so her fall is stopped by her hands landing on the ground first, so that she holds up her body from falling straight to the ground with her palms.

She opens her mouth to protest but then hears angry noises from afar and, without second thought, grabs onto his hand so she can pick herself up faster.]

Hurry!

[She grips his hand and pulls him toward the direction she was just coming from, her strength not particularly strong but forceful, before letting go of the hand and sprinting at quick speed.]

( before new warriors )

[... Well that's not quite the damsel in distress type he was expecting. He should have guessed, though. Most of the foreigners here are made of tougher stuff than that. Brandon generates a small field of electricity, glows briefly a hard blue-white, and then catches up to her thanks to the little boost.]

I set their sacred bale of hay on fire, apparently. Who knew, right?
